A Houston SEO Company

Your company's website has little to no value if no one can find it. Search engine optimization (SEO) is one technique our Houston SEO and internet marketing team use to ensure that your company's website ranks as high as possible in search engine results pages. Search engine optimization can some times include targeting search traffic based on the geographic location of your business services, depending on which consumers you are targeting. Knowing who your customers are is just the first step in our Houston SEO methodology, but it's a critical one. If you mess up here, your site may still rank well for some search queries, but it's not going to do you much good if the queries aren't actually what your clients are searching for.

Global competition is quite literally just that when marketing your product or service on the world wide web. Just because your company makes a product that can be shipped across seas, doesn't mean you should optimize your site to target search terms globally right away. A recent online study showed that consumers are more likely to purchase a product online from a merchant that is local than one 5,000 miles away.

Typcially, it's better start your search engine optimization locally, and expand to other targeted regions gradually. For example, if your business starts out with Houston SEO then your company can quickly make use of the additional local traffic and search results.  Once your search terms for your local market have been dominated, you can utilize tools like Google Trends to identify other locations where online consumers have exhibited interest in your product or service, and optimize for these regions as well.

What is Search Engine Optimization (SEO)?

We get quite a few phone calls from people wondering why their website isn't appearing in the search engine results pages for certain key words. 90% of the time, when one of our Houston SEO consultants looks at their website, they find out that the key words in question aren't don't even appear anywhere on the website. Many people who have paid thousands of dollars for their company's website get understandably irate when this happens. While many web designers are very creative and can put together beautiful websites, most either ignore the importance of text and content or have absolutely no understanding of SEO concepts.

So what exactly is search engine optimization? Let's use a basic example - If you are a realtor in Houston and you want to show up for searches related local searches, your website must include the words "Houston" and "realtor" several times in the text,in the title tag, the description and near the top of the page. A giant picture of a listed house with and "Homes for sale" as your header isn't going to do you much good.
